DREAMS of a CLOUD
Peruse the many random ramblings of a writer-in-training as I build stories and develop my craft.

Arlecchino and Ayaka: A Poem
I was dead tired and needed to write SOMETHING after work. And recently, I’ve been playing a lot of Genshin again, even picked up Arlecchino. She’s been a blast to play, and kind of locked in my second team. So I have an overload team centered around Arlecchino and Raiden, and a freeze team centered around Ayaka, that feel so very different from each other but still play very similarly. It’s strange and fun, and something I thought a lot about randomly, and put the thoughts roughly in a poem.
Arlecchino and Ayaka
The one, imperial, regal, demanding
The other, serene, elegant, demure
Flame and explosions and flurries of motion
Versus the silent stillness of frozen ice
Both naught more than a dream
Shared, not even my own
But fortune favored me greatly
To let ice and fire guide that dreamlike journey
